The Moline Dispatch tells of some.
what remarkable surgical operation per-
formed in Moline yesterday:
A consultation of physicians held in
the critical case of John Magill resulted
in the decision to make surgical oper-
alton to examine the kidney in which
there was supposed to be an abscess.
This operation was performed this fore
noon. al the home of the patient, on
Second avenue. Drs. G. Truesdale and
c. c. Carter of Rock Island, ard G.
Piper. of this city. were present, and DR..
Dunn came in before the operation had
been completed. The operation was by
DR.. Truesdale. assisted by DR.. Carter. and
DR.. Piper administered the chloroform.
The incision was made in the back.
The muscular tissue near the kidney was
found to have been affected, and the be-
lief of the medical gentlemen that there
was an sbcess of the kidney was fully
confirmed. As soon as the incision had
been made, there was great flow of pus.
Then examination of the kidney showed
that its internal structure and a large
portion of its walls had been eaten away
so that there was very little of it left
Consequently the kidney was removed
and Mr. Magill is now in the somewha,
| rare condition of man with one kidney
He is quite low, as indeed he was before
the operation.
His chances of recovery are, of couse
improved by the extirpation of the kid

hundred patients who have each suffered
the extirpation of one kidney, fifty>fou
recover and forty-six die, MIR. Magill'
greatest danger is from blood poisoning
which has probably begun its work, from
the poisonous pus, before the operation
was performed. If blood poisoning ha
not already set in, his chances, for recov
cry are fair, weak as he now is.

portant in that city. On that day the
Rev. Arnold Damen, the veteran Jesuit
missionary. will have completed his fifty
years as sspriest and his jubilee will be
celebrated not only by the Catholics of
the Jeusit parish. but by thousands and
tens of thousands from outside par
ishes in that and the neighborng dos
ceses. The archbishop is to be pres.
ent on this occasion also. 1t is IN
derstood that each one Of the societies
will present the venerable priest with a
purse in token of their appreciation OF
his long and jealous service. Tie total
of those offerings Father Deman intends
to utilize for the erection of a school fol
deaf and dumb children to be erected in
the Jesuit parish and to be under the
direct management of the Ephepheta So
ciety. This school will be open TO the
deaf mutes of all denominations. The
original project to erect hospital ha!
been abandoned, ecclesiastical objections
having been raised thereto.
Father Dsmen will have the congratu,
lations and God speed of hundreds o
Rock Islanders, who have learned to Low,
and respect him during the time he hal
conducted missions in this city.

Now you will he surprised when 1 tell
you that the ambition of every Hawaiian
girl is to become IS years old and marry a
Chinaman The islands are full of Mongo-
hans. They do thriving business in opium,
and are considered eligible in every way.
But the American teachers are trying to put
a stop to this, and the only way they can do
it is to provide other husbands to take the
place of the Cinnamon, for if Hawaiian
girl is not married very early in life she soon
goes to destruction So the American teach
ers, particularly those from the boarding
schools for girls, take occasion when their
young ladies are nearing womanhood to call
at the schools for boys and arrange mar
riages between native young men and women.
This sounds harsh, but it is really salvation
to the girls, as the marriages usually turn
out well. The girls who have been educated
in the industrial schools make good house
wives, and have pretty little cottage home:
